06 - CI/CD (Consumption)¶

Set up GitHub Actions deployment for Consumption (Y1) using azure/functions-action@v1 and Linux-compatible Zip Deploy behavior.

Prerequisites¶

Tool	Version	Purpose
GitHub repository	Actions enabled	Host CI/CD workflow
Function App	Consumption (Y1)	Deployment target
Azure CLI	2.61+	Generate publish profile

What You'll Build¶

You will create a GitHub Actions workflow that installs Python dependencies and deploys the app from apps/python to a Linux Consumption Function App.

Infrastructure Context

Plan: Consumption (Y1) | Network: Public internet only | VNet: ❌ Not supported

Consumption has no VNet integration or private endpoint support. All traffic flows over the public internet. Storage uses connection string authentication.

Steps¶

Step 1 - Set variables¶

export RG="rg-func-consumption-demo"
export APP_NAME="func-consumption-demo-001"
export STORAGE_NAME="stconsumptiondemo001"
export LOCATION="koreacentral"

Step 2 - Download publish profile¶

az functionapp deployment list-publishing-profiles \
  --name "$APP_NAME" \
  --resource-group "$RG" \
  --xml

Copy the XML output into GitHub secret AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE.

Step 3 - Create workflow file¶

Create .github/workflows/consumption-deploy.yml:

name: Deploy Function App (Consumption)

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: '3.11'

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          python -m pip install --upgrade pip
          python -m pip install --requirement apps/python/requirements.txt

      - name: Deploy with Azure Functions Action
        uses: azure/functions-action@v1
        with:
          app-name: func-consumption-demo-001
          package: apps/python
          scm-do-build-during-deployment: true
          enable-oryx-build: true
          publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE }}

Step 4 - Commit and push¶

git add ".github/workflows/consumption-deploy.yml"
git commit --message "docs: add consumption CI/CD workflow"
git push --set-upstream origin main

Step 5 - Verify deployment from Actions¶

curl --request GET "https://$APP_NAME.azurewebsites.net/api/health"

Linux Consumption supports Zip Deploy for this workflow, while Kudu advanced tools are not exposed.

Verification¶

GitHub Actions log excerpt:

Run azure/functions-action@v1
Successfully parsed publish profile
Using SCM credential for deployment
Uploading package to function app...
Deployment completed successfully.

Health response:

{"status":"healthy","timestamp":"2026-04-03T10:10:00Z","version":"1.0.0"}

Next Steps¶

Add non-HTTP triggers and verify scaling behavior for Consumption.
